Bible Person

Joel

This Joel entry refers to one of David's mighty men in 1 Chronicles 11:38, not to the ruler of Manasseh, the Gadite figures, or the post-exilic namesakes. He belongs to the elite warrior circle remembered around David's reign. First appears in 1 Chr 11:38.1

AI summary: This Joel matters because his single cross reference places him among the distinguished fighters whose loyalty and courage helped secure David's kingdom. The mention of his brother Nathan in the same context adds family texture to the mighty men tradition. Taken together, the material presents this Joel as a mighty man in David's service.1
